This private guided tour begins with a trip to Fátima, the religious center of Portugal.

Visit the Aljustrel House Museum, birthplace of the three little shepherds. Canonized by Pope Francis in Fátima, the three cousins are narrators of incredible religious stories! Have you ever heard of the "Miracle of the Sun"? This is the perfect opportunity to uncover the stunning stories told by Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta - the three shepherds of Fátima.

Explore the Sanctuary of Fátima, built on the exact location of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, and learn about this historical phenomenon. Inside the majestic Sanctuary, you'll find the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Chapel of the Apparitions, important buildings that tell part of these children's extraordinary story.

This is the perfect place for relaxation and self-reflection. Believer or not, you can't escape the magical atmosphere of this area, full of secrets and stories. Observe the inspiring devotion of pilgrims from around the world and take time to experience the spiritual environment of this sacred place.

Discover the new work by renowned artist Joana Vasconcelos, a beautiful girdle called "Suspensão" (Suspension). This bold structure has caused quite a stir with its innovative design.

Light a candle and let yourself be impressed by the wonderful neoclassical style of the buildings. The Sanctuary of Fátima is expansive, giving you the freedom to explore the spaces that interest you most. We also recommend observing the segment of the Berlin Wall, donated in 1994 as a "symbol of peace."

Indulge in an excellent lunch before continuing your guided tour to Coimbra, the university city. Its University, dating from the 13th century and declared a World Heritage Site, is the city's crown jewel.

Our first stop is at the beautiful Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova, a truly Franciscan cloistered monastery.

Next, visit the prestigious University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's easy to understand why: its monumental buildings and exquisite history attract visitors from all over the world. Observe the strong student traditions that permeate the University - you'll be amazed by the students' distinctive uniforms! Take time to admire the stunning views over the city.

Familiarize yourself with some of Coimbra's most interesting features: the long staircase of the "Quebra Costas," traditional shops, old narrow streets, and typical neighborhoods of the historic center.

This private and exclusive visit, full of delightful surprises, ends with a comfortable drop-off at your accommodation.
